NTP Software®, the worldwide leader in File Data Management, today announced that it has extended its relationship with technology partner Hitachi Data Systems to.enhance its Hitachi Unified Storage and Hitachi NAS Platform line of products.

A member of the Hitachi Data Systems Technology Alliance Program, NTP Software works in conjunction with Hitachi NAS Platform to enforce and maintain quotas and to monitor, block and manage files as part of comprehensive policy controls established by storage administrators. With this latest agreement, Hitachi NAS Platform and NTP Software offer customers highly scalable solutions that allow companies granular control of how much storage end users can consume, what types of data they can store and how long they can keep that data.

“We work diligently with a number of strategic partners to ensure that they have the tools to enhance the control and management of file data on their particular platforms,” said Bruce Backa, CEO of NTP Software. “Having previously partnered with Hitachi Data Systems, it was a natural evolution to incorporate our offerings with their integrated solutions. Together, we can ensure that our customers derive the most value from their storage investment while taking advantage of opportunities to reduce their ongoing costs.”
